How to shoot fireworks

Frequently the most impressive spectacle, fireworks are nonetheless tricky to shoot. For your best chance of capturing a display, set your sensitivity to ISO 100 and compensation to 0EV so that you don t unnecessarily lighten the sky, which you want to keep as black as possible.

Mount your camera on a tripod and set your shutter speed to at least 8 seconds. Zoom out so that the fireworks just fill the frame, preferably without being cropped by the borders and be careful not to wobble the camera during the exposure or you ll end up with blurred results. All being well, the result should be pin sharp streaks of light falling to the ground.We shot these fireworks using an 8 second exposure with the help of a tripod and timed shutter release.
